How long were you married before you had your first child?

odwitt @odwitt (112) • United States 10 Sep 08

My husband and I have been married for almost 1 year, and we're starting to talk about having kids. Is it too soon? We plan to wait on ttc until he's out of grad school and has a stable income.

sadness

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 7 Sep 08

Do you feel great sadness when you finish a book? I do. If it's at all good, I want it to go on. It's almost as if a f's been lost when there's nothing left. Occasionally there's a book with an overly facile ending, or one that...

keep going

too soon

charmaxnojo I don't know if it is sadness but I do hate when a good book ends. I also hate when I am reading and have to stop for some reason.

charmaxnojo I was 26 and my husband was 28. I was engaged to my highschool sweetheart at age 19 and thank goodness we didn't go through with it because I never would have met my husband.

rakittera @rakittera (802) • Philippines 9 Sep 08

I have a 9-month old daughter and she's been taking a few steps while holding on to something or being held with support. I was just wondering, how old do other babies start walking?

mistakesss @mistakesss (436) • United States 19 Jul 08

What is your favourite book from middle or high school? How about college

angusthethird @angusthethird (515) • United States 13 Aug 08

Mine is "To Kill a Mockingbird." It spoke of racism and the tragedy that can erupt when justice is perverted to justify an act of hatred in its most disgusting form. In college I discovered Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were...

How do you eat your yogurt?

Sheepie @Sheepie (3112) • United States 7 Sep 08

Do you eat the fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt by stirring in the fruit first or do you eat the yogurt then eat the fruit? I eat it separate, I don't know why I just always have and I found no reason to eat it the other way.

yogurt

charmaxnojo I have to mix my yogurt and fruit. And I can't eat it unless I have granola or something crunchy to mix in too. I buy a bag of granola from the bulk section of the grocery store and throw it into the yogurt, the more the better.

charmaxnojo This is my son's second Halloween. He was born last year on 10/30 so he was too little to dress up then. But this year I think he will be Donald Duck. I saw a cute Donald Duck costume online. I am just holding off just in case I see something cuter.
